i can't seem to get a clear read on whether the golden globes will air or not this year (in related topics: is television dead?), but one thing is for sure, l'oréal will continue it's tradition of giving a specially designed compact to all female nominees in all categories. this year's compact was designed by kwiat.
if you would like your own little replica, they will be available for $50 at l'oreal boutiques (call 888.270.7743 for store info). added bonus: 20% of retail price will be donated to ovarian cancer research.

this past week lancôme announced that anne hathaway would be their new brand ambassador.
lancôme international president, odile roujol says of the actress, "anne hathaway is a radiant young woman who perfectly embodies modern femininity. we know she will portray all the passion and excitement of our new fragrance, to be launched throughout the world in september 2008." no word yet on what sort of scent the new fragrance will be.
i like anne hathaway for keeping it classy and keeping her crotch to herself, but she's never really struck me as glamorous, or as a beauty icon. what do you think of lancome's choice?
